If you need a quick addition to your Spanish telling time unit, check out these Spanish worksheets! The printable worksheets use analog clocks for student practice as they work on Spanish time expressions in your classroom. Let’s look at these free resources like this Spanish clock worksheet for your Spanish students!
Spanish Time Expressions for your Vocabulary List:
- En punto
- Y cuarto
- Y media
- Menos cuarto
- De la mañana
- De la tarde
- De la noche
- Media hora
- Qué hora es?
You can also decide if you want them to work with the 24-hour clock, as is common in many Spanish-speaking countries. There is also a mix of Spanish speakers who use “y”, “menos”, or “para” when telling the time of day so you might want to mention that to your students! You don’t necessarily need to put emphasis on them all in their Spanish practice activities, but I do like to mention the differences to support students’ learning and help them learn more about different ways to tell time.

If you do a bellringer as part of your daily activities with your middle school or high school students, this is a great option to add to your lesson plans. This Spanish clock worksheet set includes 2 pages. On the first page, students look at the clock face and write the correct time in Spanish below. This is great writing practice for your students!
Take a look at the example!
On the second exercise, students have 16 blank clocks. They draw in the time on the analog clock and then write the sentence below in Spanish. They can choose to use any of the target vocabulary, or you can direct them to include half hour, quarter past, and more specific times as needed. Check out the example:
(Example worksheet shows student drawn in hour and minute hands and wrote in, “Son las dos” for their answer.)

Ways to use these Spanish Clock Worksheets
You can use these sets of super simple worksheets easily in your lesson plans:
- bell ringer during your daily routines
- partner work
- individual student work
- station activity

While our students are very familiar with digital clocks, not as many are used to analog clocks any more! I like to use them for an extra practice activity to tie in that life skill.
Spanish Clock Worksheet Review Game
Another option for the blank clocks is to make a few copies of the worksheet, then cut them apart and give each student a blank clock face. Have each student draw a time on the clock and write their answer below. Then you can use those cards to play Quiz-Quiz-Trade with your students for another review game!
This activity is fantastic because it gets students up and out of their seats, speaking, practicing structures with classmates, and working with students they may not usually work with. It is worthwhile to note that students will be working alone, and doing a lot of output – this strategy is good for reviewing structures that you have modeled and practiced in class.
How to Play:
- Pass out one card to each student. Make sure the students all understand the card they have in hand and knows the correct answer.
*You can place the correct answer on the back of the card, do a practice activity with the questions, or do a quick small group activity to make sure all students are able to answer accurately. - Explain the structure and procedure to students.
- Begin with Kagan structure StandUp-HandUp-PairUp to pair students. Students stand up, put their hands up, and high five another person with their hand up. They are now partners! When students are searching for a partner, their hands remain in the air for easy visibility.
- Person A reads their question
- Person B answers, A praises or coaches, giving feedback to help them improve
- B reads their question
- A answers, B praises or coaches, giving feedback to help them improve
- Swap cards and find a new partner (hand up in the air!)
